May Day is widely celebrated in towns and villages throughout Britain, with traditions including dressing up as a green man, a dragon or ‘obby ‘oss, a crowning ceremony of a May Queen and King with processions of people dressed in red and white, along with dancing around a maypole, Morris Dancers and much revelry.

Tomorrow morning there will be thousands of people flocking to Stonehenge, arriving just after 5am in the cold and dark of a new moon, gathering together to celebrate the Winter Solstice dawn at the ancient monument.
